We ask that all competitors and coxes have read the Safety and Organisation Plan which covers all aspects of the course, batch system and safety.

Due to the width of the canal the Regatta runs under a batch system. A batch of 6 to 10 races is held every 30 minutes with Competitors boating 30 minutes beforehand and marshalled above the finish line. After the previous batch has finished the crews then proceed up past the start, turn and are marshalled with their opposition. During the batch crews are started at roughly 2 minute intervals.
